Our customer from Ocean Village had 8 cushions recovered with a self-piped edge. That were fitted with zips. The fabric was supplied to us by our customer. We phoned to arrange delivery. They replied, sorry we are in the middle of our cruise. I said no problem, just ring us when it is convenient to deliver them.

I had an old M&S footstool from my daughter which was in a dark red colour and I needed it to match my new sofa which is beige. Derek and his team did an excellent job, giving me advice, helping me to choose a fabric and even to change my mind and pause the job. Derek was patient, adaptive and helpful to the last and we finally got there! I cannot recommend Dee Cee enough for customer service, quality, and helpfulness. Good value for money.

Paula saved £175.00 by having her existing box ottoman reupholstered instead of buying a new one. There was a further saving choosing a stock fabric from our remnant room. Also we have a sale promotion applying fabric anti stain protection to the job free of charge.

We had a Lloyd Loom style chair re-upholstered in a bright and modern fabric which we were absolutely delighted with. Customer service was excellent from the start to completion. We would highly recommend Dee Cee upholstery and we will most definitely use again.

Our customer from Totton The Lyoyd Loom style chair was about 65 years old and in need of stripping down to base frame. It was re-upholstered up to the Calico lining stage before being recovered. To finish off the chair was complemented with braid trimming.

I'm really pleased with the bench cushions that Derek made for my window seat. The whole process was easy and straightforward from quote to delivery. Derek is a first class upholsterer with a lovely manner. My cushions were ready in 10 days. Thank you Derek and Dee Cee upholstery.

The seat cushions on my bed settee were getting tired and needed to be replaced. I washed the loose covers and took them them to Dee Cee Upholstery to be refilled. As I no longer drive, I took the bus which was very easy as the bus stop is practically outside the shop. I was given a very competitive price for the work, and was told that the finished cushions would be delivered free of charge. As the shop was recommended to me, I was happy to pay in advance to save paying on delivery. I was especially grateful that the refilled cushions were delivered, I would never have managed them on the bus and that saved an expensive taxi fare. The work was completed ahead of the agreed date, and the cushions delivered as arranged with no issues. I am really happy with the work done. Now I need to get my armchair done, and will be going back to Dee Cee Upholstery in due course.

Our customer from Shirley was recommended to us. Sheila wanted a really firm cushion which she chose after trying different densities from our Goldilocks Room. We look forward to your return for your other cushion. Thank you for your business.

The 4 Edwardian dining chairs were stripped back to the frame, re-sprung and re-upholstered in customer own material. We supplied the gimp trimming to finish the job. Thank you for your business.
My old multi York 2 seater was worse for wear and Derek did such a fantastic job that I think it's better than ever.

I was having building work done and Derek kindly collected sofa so it wasn't in the way of the builders. Also the sofa was ready before the work was completed and Derek kindly held on to sofa until the flooring had been done. The finished item is superb. So comfortable. I was so happy that I bought another on gumtree for Derek to reupholster to match this one. Absolutely over the moon with the job

Contacted Dee Cee Upholstery to get 4 dining room chairs reupholstered. They were very good with their communications and workmanship to sort our chairs out to meet our needs. Professional business and were efficient. Cannot fault them in anyway and will recommend them to others.

The 4 dining chairs were in need of complete re-upholstery. They were stripped out to the seat frames and re-padded with fire retardant foam. Our customer comment “cannot fault them in any way” was rewarding.

I have two Cintique fireside chairs I inherited from my parents. They were in an exceptionally bad state after 72 years of constant use. Dee Cee have recushioned and reupholstered them and they are now as good as new. I received very friendly, courteous and punctual service.

The chairs were completely stripped out and re-upholstered. We used fire retardant foam. The showood frames were stripped and re-polished. The fabric chosen was a Burgundy Velvet and the backs were buttoned. Our customer joked they should last another 72 years.
